APRA AMCOS are calling on all Australian songwriters who play live to submit their performance reports and get paid for their work.
Whether it's the occasional open mic night or a heavy touring schedule, songwriters and composers can be paid for their work simply by logging into their APRA AMCOS account and share performance details from the last 12 months.
Last year, $7.2 million in live performance royalties were paid out to over 16,000 members.
Among those who have lodged reports in the past includes 2018 Splendour act Amy Shark, who just last week released her debut album, Love Monster.
"I played gigs for many years and it helped to make me a better songwriter," Shark said.
"The live performance royalty also really helped to fund my ambitions when I was first starting out. Don’t miss out, submit your setlists."
To assist songwriters in submitting reports before the 31 July deadline, APRA AMCOS is holding free workshops around the country, starting tonight in Adelaide, where staff will answer questions and help out with the submission process.
